Venezuelan interim president Delcy Rodríguez is expected to visit the United States soon, according to a senior White House official. If realized, it would mark the first bilateral visit by a sitting Venezuelan president to the U.S. in nearly 25 years, excluding United Nations General Assembly sessions. Rodríguez said she has no hesitation about dialogue with Washington and emphasized that existing differences and complexities between the two nations are being addressed through diplomatic discussions.

The potential visit signals a notable shift in relations between Washington and Caracas. It follows the recent U.S. Delta Force operation that led to the arrest of former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, who now faces drug trafficking charges in the United States. Rodríguez, a close ally and former vice president under Maduro, currently serves as interim president. Despite U.S. sanctions, she has allowed Venezuelan oil exports through U.S. channels, supported foreign investment, and initiated the release of several political prisoners.

The White House stated that the visit’s schedule has not yet been finalized, and the Venezuelan government has not officially confirmed it.
